66 | | LEFA Project Status Report |
67 | | Period: July 2010 –Sept 2010 |
68 | | |
69 | | I. Major accomplishments. |
70 | | Demonstrated the use of identity federation and enterprise group control to manage many aspects of ORCA at GEC8. |
71 | | |
72 | | A. Milestones achieved. |
73 | | Established a proof of concept that federated identity and group access controls can manage GENI experiments. |
74 | | |
75 | | B. Deliverables made. |
76 | | The demo at GEC8 illustrated not only the use of federated identity but also the use of groups for access control. Worked with the Cobham group and introduced them to COmanage and the issues and approaches to attribute creation at the enterprise and at the cluster/experiment level. The federation knot paper continues to draw comments. |
77 | | |
78 | | II. Description of work performed during last quarter |
79 | | |
80 | | A. Activities and findings |
81 | | • Worked with ORCA and central IT staff at Duke to implement Shibboleth/Grouper environment and to integrate Shibboleth with the ORCA portal. |
82 | | • Developed demo showing authentication at the home campus and use of group memberships within CoManange to manage permissions at the GENI portal. |
83 | | • Worked with TIED deployer to integrate Shibboleth with their attribute-based access control libraries. |
84 | | • Held ongoing discussions with GPO on identity management and access issues. |
85 | | • Delivered demo at GEC8. |
86 | | |
87 | | B. Project participants |
88 | | Ken Klingenstein (Internet2), Principal Investigator: project direction, federation analysis, white paper development, participant in GENI CF discussions, liaison with Steve Schwab of Cobham and service as project liaison to the GPO. |
89 | | |
90 | | Steven Carmody (Brown University), Senior IT Architect at Brown University and Project Manager of Internet2's Shibboleth Project: focus on engagement with ORCA and Planetlab on technical issues. |
91 | | |
92 | | C. Publications (individual and organizational) |
93 | | |
94 | | D. Outreach activities |
95 | | |
96 | | E. Collaborations |
97 | | ORCA control framework. |
98 | | TIED project for Linking Attributes to policy engines for access control. |
99 | | Cobham integrated. |
100 | | |
101 | | F. Other Contributions |
102 | | Has provided GPO with advice on identity management activities in other venues, including government. |

108 | | LEFA Project Status Report |
109 | | Period: October 1, 2010 - March 2011 |
110 | | |
111 | | I. Major accomplishments |
112 | | A. Milestones achieved |
113 | | Presented at GEC10 in support of federated identity proposal |
114 | | Proposal was endorsed by GENI community and will set a plan for the next six months on a number of federated activities and opportunities |
115 | | Began discussion of the use of COmanage to generate local attributes |
116 | | B. Deliverables made |
117 | | Workshop at GEC10 on federated identity |
118 | | |
119 | | II. Description of work performed during last quarter |
120 | | A. Activities and findings |
121 | | Worked closely with GPO and two clusters (ORCA and ProtoGENI) to develop a federated identity alternative for GENI |
122 | | Helped develop a plan for the GENI portal with GENI staff, and set an agenda going forward. |
123 | | Began to develop a set of options for federated IdM for GPO staff, to allow it to get to distributed GENI participant resources. Plan may use COmanage as a local IdM for GPO, addressing the lack of appropriate IdM infrastructure in the GPO, in BBN and in Raytheon. Began to identify options for federating GENI collaboration resources, such as its lists and wikis. |
124 | | Clarified the options for the creation and aggregation of attributes associated with GENI participants. |
125 | | |
126 | | B. Project participants |
127 | | Steven Carmody, Brown; Ken Klingenstein, Internet2; Heather Flanagan, Internet2 |
128 | | C. Publications (individual and organizational) |
129 | | none |
130 | | D. Outreach activities ¶ |
131 | | Promoted relationship with GENI to NSF OCI, who was most pleased. |
132 | | E. Collaborations |
133 | | ORCA and ProtoGENI, Steve Schwab, Ted Faber ¶ |
134 | | F. Other Contributions ¶ |
